check court listing for that day , the courts made a mistake , no case was listed ,

the defendant used his "name" to get into court and talk to the judge , in many ways the barrister was the judges superior , and just accepted his words , costs of this amount should not have been allowed

The AA has genuine sympathy for drivers such as Bowen who take the advice to ‘take a break’ and then get penalised for overstaying their welcome, King adds. “Obviously, these areas need some parking restrictions in order to prohibit some from parking all day, but perhaps there should be a special area to allow tired drivers to sleep longer. However, if they overstay and are not in the car a ticket would be legitimate.”

Hope the PPCs don't pick up on that last sentence.
They try "leaving site". Now they will be going for "leaving Car" !!!

Car sharing rendezvous point. Four cars turn up early in the morning, three are parked up for the day, the three drivers jump into the 4th car, and all off to work.

Saves them on 3 x fuel costs, 3 x the daily hassle of finding car parking space near to work and 3 x daily parking charges.

Apparently hospital car parks in Scotland and Wales (with free parking) are clogged up with these types of chancers! Those campaigning for UK-wide free hospital car parking need to factor in the likely inadvertent consequence of such a facility and come up with a workable solution - but hospitals are unlikely to invest in barriers with no income coming in from parking, and are even more likely to jump into the clutches of a PPC offering 'free' car park management to them.

We cannot provide you with a silver bullet to get you out of this. You have to be in for the long run, and need to involve yourself in research and work for you to get rid of this. It is not simple. We will help, but can't do it for you.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Is a good point but government, local authorities, and even hospitals (referring to staff) actively encourage car sharing, and using public transport but rarely provide out of town parking to support it.

Depending on how one reads this, it does give two quite different pictures.

Was it a big case?

Lol - I "used" him as Counsel, it wasn't a big case and it was many years ago, I just recognised him and when I look at his picture now he definitely resembles his brother, but I didn't think so at the time. I love trivia so was just sharing!!!

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.

MoneySavingExpert.com is part of the MoneySupermarket Group, but is entirely editorially independent. Its stance of putting consumers first is protected and enshrined in the legally-binding MSE Editorial Code.
